Preface 

The  Pittsburgh  pubHc  schools  and  the  Carnegie  Library  of 
Pittsburgh,  since  the  organization  of  the  latter,  have  striven 
jointly  and  constantly  to  bring  the  pupils  in  the  schools  into 
close  touch  with  good  books.  The  Library  was  opened  to  the 
public  in  November  1895.  Soon  thereafter  arrangements  were 
made  for  teachers  and  principals  of  schools  within  the  city  limits 
to  draw  a  number  of  volumes  for  class  use.  These  books  were 
drawn  directly  from  the  shelves  of  the  Loan  department  and 
charged  on  schoolroom  cards.  The  demand  increased  steadily 
and  the  Library  found  within  two  or  three  years  that  these  calls 
'could  no  longer  satisfactorily  be  met  from  the  shelves  of  the 
regular  Loan  collection,  because  the  books  most  needed  by  the 
schools  were  so  much  in  demand,  and  the  calls  coming  from  so 
many  sources,  that  the  volumes  were  too  rarely  upon  the 
shelves.  Therefore  in  December  1898  the  Library  set  apart, 
for  school  use  only,  a  special  collection  of  duplicate  copies  of 
the  most  attractive  books  suitable  for  the  purpose.  That  collec- 
tion of  duplicates  formed  the  basis  for  this  work  and,  with 
necessary  changes  and  frequent  additions,  has  been  in  active  use 
in  the  schools  of  the  city  since  that  time. 

In  December  1899,  at  the  invitation  of  the  Pittsburgh  Prin- 
cipals' Association,  the  librarian,  Mr  Edwin  H.  Anderson, 
addressed  its  members  and  urged  that  steps  be  taken  to  have 
the  work  of  the  Library  with  the  schools  more  thoroughly 
organized  and  systematized.  The  principals  were  not  less 
eager  than  the  librarian  to  have  this  done,  and  a  committee  was 
at  once  appointed  to  cooperate  with  the  librarian  and  his  as- 
sistants in  the  preparation  of  a  carefully  selected  and  graded 
list  of  books  most  suitable  for  school  use,  apart  from  the  ordi- 
nary text-books.  To  the  general  committee  were  added  nine 
sub-committees  to  cover  the  following  subjects :  Art,  Geogra- 
phy, History,  Language,  General  literature.  Kindergarten, 
Pedagogy,  Nature  and  High  School  reading.    Each  of  the  nine 


6  PREFACE 

committees  submitted  a  graded  list  covering  its  special  field 
and,  with  the  exception  of  the  language  list,  the  classification  in 
the  catalogue  conformed  to  the  divisions  made  by  the  com- 
mittee. Instead  of  making  a  separate  language  sub-division, 
all  books  included  in  the  list  having  a  generally  recognized 
literary  value  were  marked  with  the  asterisk. 

The  "Graded  and  Annotated  Catalogue  of  Books  in  the 
Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh  for  the  use  of  the  City  Schools" 
was  issued  in  December  1900  and  the  edition  exhausted  early  in 
1902.  A  demand  for  copies,  however,  has  continued  up  to  the 
present  time  and  this  revision  of  the  lists  prepared  for  school 
grades  one  to  eight  inclusive  is  now  issued  to  meet  that  demand 
in  part.  The  list  of  books  intended  for  use  in  the  High  schools 
has  been  omitted,  as  well  as  the  various  lists  of  reference  books 
for  teachers,  because  it  appears  that  these  lists  will  be  more  con- 
venient if  issued  as  a  separate  publication.  Out-of-print  books 
have  been  omitted  from  the  lists  here  presented  and  new  titles 
added.  Teachers  in  the  Pittsburgh  Schools  have  given  freely 
of  their  time  to  aid  in  the  work  of  revision,  and  the  grading 
in  the  new  edition  is  therefore  based  on  their  experience.  In 
the  selection  of  books  to  be  included  teachers  and  authorities 
on  special  subjects  have  been  consulted  and  particular  attention 
has  been  paid  to  the  choice  of  editions,  having  regard  both  to 
text  and  to  illustrations. 

As  in  the  earlier  edition,  the  title  and  annotation  for  each 
book  is  repeated  in  every  grade  to  which  the  index  assigns  it. 
This  arrangement  adds  greatly  to  the  size  of  the  catalogue 
as  well  as  to  the  labor  of  preparing  it,  but  it  enables  the  teachers 
to  use  each  grade  as  a  complete  list  without  referring  elsewhere 
for  the  annotations.  There  has  been  no  attempt  to  furnish 
anything  in  the  nature  of  supplementary  text-book  reading  as 
a  part  of  the  routine  school  work.  The  aim  has  been,  rather, 
to  provide  collateral  reading  in  history,  biography,  travel,  ad- 
venture, simple  science  and  good  fiction  to  be  used  in  the  school 
room  and  sent  into  the  homes  of  the  children.  It  is  hoped  that 
the  annotations,  which  are  made  chiefly  for  the  teachers  and 
from  their  standpoint,  may  help  them  in  guiding  the  children 
in  their  choice  of  books,  and  in  fitting  the  right  book  to  the 
right  child. 

At  present  the  collection  for  school  use  consists  of  about 


PREFACE  7 

20,000  volumes,  comprising  some  2,412  titles.  It  is  adminis- 
tered by  a  supervisor  of  work  with  schools  and  forms  a  bureau 
or  division  of  the  Children's  department  of  the  Library.  The 
supervisor  visits  the  schools,  studies  their  needs  and  loans  col- 
lections of  books  for  the  school  year  to  public,  private  and 
parochial  schools.  During  the  past  year  sixty-six  were  sup- 
plied with  books  in  this  way.  The  books  are  used  by  the 
teachers  in  their  class-rooms  and  loaned  by  them  to  the  children 
for  home  reading.  A  full  record  of  the  class-room  use  made 
of  these  books  is  not  feasible  but  a  partial  count  kept  last  year 
showed  that  143,845  volumes  were  so  used.  To  this  number 
is  to  be  added  the  record  of  home  circulation  from  the  same 
collection,  namely  81,803  volumes,  making  a  total  recorded  use 
amounting  to  225,648  for  the  collection.  The  following  table 
shows  the  home  circulation  of  books  loaned  to  children  through 
the  schools  for  the  past  nine  years :

At  the  Central  Library  building,  in  addition  to  the  Chil- 
dren's Reading  Room,  there  is  in  preparation  a  separate  study 
room  for  school  children,  which  is  to  be  furnished  with  maps, 
globes,  atlases  and  reference  books  particularly  suited  to  their 
needs.  In  close  connection  therewith  is  provided  also  a  special 
reference  room  for  teachers,  which  is  to  contain  one  copy  of 
each  book  in  the  school  duplicate  collection  and  also  a  pedagogi- 
cal and  text-book  collection.  It  is  hoped  that  these  will  prove 
a  valuable  aid  both  to  the  schools  and  to  the  Library  in  the 
work  toward  which  this  catalogue  is  one  step,  namely  placing 
in  the  hands  of  the  children  in  our  schools  the  best  books  only. 

Anderson  H.  Hopkins, 

/  November  1907.  Librarian. 


Approval  by  the  Pittsburgh  Principals'  Association 

The  Public  Schools  of  Pittsburgh  recognize  in  the  Carnegie 
Library  a  most  helpful  and  permanent  ally  in  every  department 
of  school  work.  This  catalogue  of  books  for  children  is  especi- 
ally appreciated  by  the  school  workers  because  it  indicates 
definitely  and  fully  the  literature  so  essential  in  the  develop- 
ment of  intelligence,  character  and  general  culture.  The  care- 
ful grading  of  the  books  listed,  the  complete  annotation  for 
ready  and  convenient  reference,  and  withal,  the  high  character 
of  the  reading  matter  recommended  for  the  several  grades, 
make  this  publication  a  most  valuable  schoolroom  guide.  A 
copy  of  it  should  be  found  on  every  teacher's  desk,  and  from  its 
proper  use  should  be  developed  the  habit  and  the  inclination  on 
the  part  of  the  pupils  to  read  the  books  of  genuine  worth  in 
elementary  education. 

The  substantial  benefit  derived  from  the  former  catalogue 
is  gratefully  acknowledged  by  teachers  and  pupils.  This  later 
work,  thoroughly  revised  and  brought  down  to  date,  should  be 
still  more  helpful  as  a  factor  in  schoolroom  culture. 

Therefore,  in  behalf  of  the  Public  Schools  we  desire  to 
record  our  unqualified  approval  of  this  work  by  the  Library 
authorities,  and  to  express  the  hope  that  the  outcome  shall  be  an 
adequate  appreciation  of  the  educative  spirit  of  the  Library's 
management  and  a  due  recognition  of  its  inestimable  benefits  to 
the  youth  of  Pittsburgh.

Endorsement  by  the  City  Superintendent  of  Schools 

I  most  heartily  concur  with  the  Principals'  Association  in 
the  approval  of  this  excellent  work.  The  good  results  predicted 
from  the  catalogue  issued  in  1900  have  been  fully  realized. 
The  suggested  use  of  juvenile  literature  so  well  outlined  in  that 
publication  has  broadened  our  school  work,  vitalized  interest  in 
general  reading,  and  laid  the  foundation  for  more  intelligent 
thought  along  all  lines.  I  confidently  expect,  therefore,  that 
this  revised  and  improved  catalogue  will  bring  to  our  schools 
still  greater  good  in  the  education  of  our  boys  and  girls.

"The  latest  good  genius  of  children's  book  illustrations  is  Mr.  Randolph 
Caldecott,  a  designer  assuredly  of  the  very  first  order.  There  is  a

that  is  infinitely  entertaining.  Other  artists  draw  to  amuse  us;  Mr.

merry-making,  and  the  drawing  is  clever.  Rhymed  stories  accompany

There  is  a  difference  of  opinion  about  this  German  child  classic.  The 
pictures  are  too  highly  colored  to  please  some  critics,  but  they  amuse 
children,  and  the  characters  are  so  often  alluded  to  in  other  books  that 
they  ought  to  be  familiar  to  all  young  readers.

"The  latest  good  genius  of  children's  book  illustrations  is  Mr.  Randolph 

Caldecott,  a  designer  assuredly  of  the  very   first  order.     There  is  a 

spontaneity  of  fun,  and  unforced  invention  about  everything  he  does, 

that  is  infinitely  entertaining.     Other  artists  draw  to  amuse  us;   Mr. 

Caldecott  seems  to  draw  to  amuse  himself, — and  this  is  his  charm."

The  "Brownies"  first  saw  the  light  in  the  pages  of  "St.  Nicholas,"  and 
they  have  always  been  favorites  with  the  children.  Hordes  of 
grotesque  and  comical  little  elves  swarm  on  every  page,  intent  on 
mischief  or  merry-making,  and  the  drawing  is  clever.  Rhymed  stories 
accompany  the  illustrations,  but  the  pictures  are  the  important  part.

Four  old-fashioned  fairy  tales  illustrated  by  the  "veteran  George 
Cruikshank."  Andrew  Lang  says:  "He  indeed  may  justly  be  compared

comes  nearer  to  him  than  any  artist  of  our  time."  Considering  the 
illustrations,  the  printing  and  the  binding  it  is  altogether  a  most  de- 
lightful fairy  book.

"Since  Stothard,  no  one  has  given  us  such  a  clear-eyed,  soft-faced, 
happy-hearted  childhood. .  .Added  to  this,  the  old-world  costume  in 
which  [Miss  Greenaway]  usually  elects  to  clothe  her  characters,  lends 
an  arch  piquancy. .  .Her  taste  in  tinting,  too,  is  very  sweet  and  spring-

The  name  of  .lEsop,  the  slave  of  Samos,  is  so  identified  with  the  fable  in 
literature,  that  almost  all  the  fables  that  have  appeared  in  the  western 
world  have  been  sheltered  at  one  time  or  another  under  the  shadow 
of  his  name.  In  the  struggle  for  existence  among  all  these  fables 
a  certain  number  stand  out  as  the  most  effective  and  familiar.  These 
Mr  Jacobs  has  brought  together  in  this  most  attractive  little  volume.

"The  latest  good  genius  of  children's  book  illustrations  is  Mr.  Randolph 

Caldecott,   a  designer  assuredly  of  the  very   first  order.     There  is  a 

spontaneity  of  fun,  and  unforced  invention  about  everything  he  does, 

that  is  infinitely  entertaining.     Other  artists  draw  to  amuse  us;   Mr. 

Caldecott  seems  to  draw  to  amuse  himself, — and  this  is  his  charm."

Four  old-fashioned  fairy  tales  illustrated  by  the  "veteran  George  Cruik-

nearer  to  him  than  any  artist  of  our  time."  Considering  the  illustra- 
tions, the  printing  and  the  binding  it  is  altogether  a  most  delightful 
fairy  book.

Claus  and  who  had  sufficient  imagination  to  see  things  at  night."

*Fables;   told   anew  and   their  history  traced   by  Joseph 

Jacobs.     Macmillan,  $1.50 j888  A25fi 

Some  of  the  fables  are:  The  wolf  and  the  lamb. — The  lion's  share. — 
The  frogs  desiring  a  king. — The  goose  with  the  golden  eggs. — Belling 
the  cat.  Especially  adapted  to  committing  to  memory  and  reading 
aloud. 
The  name  of  JEsop,  the  slave  of  Samos,  is  so  identified  with  the  fable 
in  literature,  that  almost  all  the  fables  that  have  appeared  in  the 
western  world  have  been  sheltered  at  one  time  or  another  under  the 
shadow  of  his  name.  In  the  struggle  for  existence  among  all  these 
fables  a  certain  number  stand  out  as  the  most  effective  and  familiar. 
These  Mr  Jacobs  has  brought  together  in  this  most  attractive  little 
volume.

reigns  of  Queen  Anne  and  George  I  that  the  people  of  England  and

Galland.  From  the  French  they  were  translated  into  all  languages 
and  this  edition  is  from  Galland's  version.  The  poetry  and  a  great

Toby  Tyler;  or,  Ten  weeks  with  a  circus.     Harper,  $.60. .  . .  j03i4t 
A  runaway  boy's  adventures  with  a  traveling  circus.     The  title  might 
suggest  that   this   would   not   be   the   best  sort  of  a   story   for   young 
people,  but  it  is  really  harmless,  and  appeals  strongly  to  a  boy's  sense 
of  humor. 
This  story  created  such  an  excitement,  while  running  as  a  serial,  that  it 
is   said   the   editor    of   "Harper's    young    people"    frequently    received 
letters  containing  money  which  children  had  sent,  in  good  earnest,  to 
Toby  Tyler  to  buy  something  to   eat.

Dickens,  Charles. 

♦Child's  history  of  England.     Button,  $2.50 J942  D55 

This  is,  of  course,  one  of  the  standards.  Dickens  is  of  the  class  of 
historians  that  Macaulay  had  in  mind  when  he  speaks  of  "the  quali- 
fications of  the  perfect  historian."  Dickens  did  have  the  imagina- 
tion sufficiently  powerful  to  make  his  narrative  affecting  and  pic- 
turesque, but  he  did  not  have  it  under  that  control  which  contented 
itself  with  the  materials  at  hand,  nor  could  he  always  refrain  from 
supplying   deficiencies  by  additions  of  his  own.

first  chapter  which  is  entitled  "What  we  know  about  American  In- 
dians." The  book  on  the  whole,  however,  is  interesting,  fairly  ac- 
curate and  contains  many  illustrations  and  a  map  of  the  United  States 
showing  the  Indian  reservation.

Mainly  anecdotes  and  incidents — not  connected  history.  These  books

as  to  what  is  history,  what  tradition  and  what  purely  imagination.

♦Princess  and  the  goblin.     Blackie,  3s.  6d jMi46pr 

Mr  MacDonald  in  his  fairy  tales  teaches  spiritual  truths  through  al- 
legories. It  is  to  be  wished  that  he  had  made  the  meaning  of  his 
allegories  plainer  to  the  reader.  It  is  hard  sometimes  to  distinguish 
the  allegory  from  the  flights  of  fancy. 

The  reader  rises,  however,  from  the  reading  with  a  stronger  faith  in 
things  unseen  and  a  deep  feeling  of  the  inadequacy  of  things  mundane. 
Mr  MacDonald's  stories  remind  one  of  cathedrals,  where  purity  and 
silence  reign  within,  while  the  evil  spirits,  in  hideous  and  fantastic 
shapes,   cling  lingeringly   among   the   cornices   and   buttresses   without.

George  III  was  still  on  the  throne;  when  gentlemen  wore  blue  coats 
with  buttons,  knee-breeches,  and  woolen  stockings;  and  ladies  were 
attired  in  short  waists,  low  necks,  and  long  ringlets."     Introduction.

Dickens,  Charles. 

♦Child's  history  of  England.    Button,  $2.50 J942  D55 

This  is,  of  course,  one  of  the  standards.  Dickens  is  of  the  class  of 
historians  that  Macaulay  had  in  mind  when  he  speaks  of  "the  qualifica- 
tions of  the  perfect  historian."  Dickens  did  have  the  imagination 
sufficiently  powerful  to  make  his  narrative  affecting  and  picturesque, 
but  he  did  not  have  it  under  that  control  which  contented  itself  with 
the  materials  at  hand,  nor  could  he  always  refrain  from  supplying 
deficiencies  by  additions  of  his   own.

dians." The  book  on  the  whole,  however,  is  interesting,  fairly  ac- 
curate and  contains  many  illustrations  and  a  map  of  the  United  States

♦Princess  and  the  goblin.     Blackie,  3s.  6d jMi46pr 

Mr  MacDonald  in  his  fairy  tales  teaches  spiritual  truths  through 
allegories.  It  is  to  be  wished  that  he  had  made  the  meaning  of  his 
allegories  plainer  to  the  reader.  It  is  hard  sometimes  to  distinguish 
the  allegory  from  the  flights  of  fancy. 
The  reader  rises,  however,  from  the  reading  with  a  stronger  faith  in 
things  unseen  and  a  deep  feeling  of  the  inadequacy  of  things  mundane. 
Mr  MacDonald's  stories  remind  one  of  cathedrals,  where  purity  and 
silence  reign  within,  while  the  evil  spirits,  in  hideous  and  fantastic 
shapes,  cling  lingeringly  among  the  cornices  and  buttresses  without.

This  book  of  wonder-exciting  stories,  written  to  bring  into  contempt  the 
exaggerations  of  the  i8th  century  traveler's  tales,  has  been  appropri- 
ated by  the  children  with  that  unerring  instinct  which  led  them  to 
make  Gulliver  and  Robinson  Crusoe  their  own.  It  first  appeared  in 
England  under  the  title  of  "Gulliver  revived;  or,  The  vice  of  lying 
exposed."  The  authorship  was  long  doubtful  and  disputed.  Modern 
research  shows  that  it  was  compiled  from  floating  legends  of  his  father- 
land by  a  learned  German,  one  Rudolph  E.  Raspe.  The  book  is  rich 
in  humor  and  satire.

"Many  people  know  Mr  Riley  chiefly  through  his  children's  poems

Prof.  Hodge,  of  the  Bureau  of  American  ethnology,  says  that  "the  opening 
chapter  on  the  'Ancient  American'  contains  so  many  errors  of  fact  as 
to  make  it  misleading  to  the  layman;  but  while  the  remainder  of  the 
book  is  not  free  from  blemish,  it  covers  the  scope  for  which  it  was 
designed   in   a   manner   to  warrant  commendation."

Dickens,  Charles. 

♦Child's  history  of  England.    Dutton,  $2.50 J942  D55 

This  is,  of  course,  one  of  the  standards.  Dickens  is  of  the  class  of 
historians  that  Macaulay  had  in  mind  when  he  speaks  of  "the  qualifi- 
cations of  the  perfect  historian."  Dickens  did  have  the  imagination 
sufficiently  powerful  to  make  his  narrative  affecting  and  picturesque, 
but  he  did  not  have  it  under  that  control  which  contented  itself  with 
the  materials  at  hand,  nor  could  he  always  refrain  from  supplying  de- 
ficiencies by  additions  of  his  own.

first  chapter  which  is  entitled  "What  we  know  about  American  In- 
dians." The  book  on  the  whole,  however,  is  interesting,  fairly  accu- 
rate and  contains  many  illustrations  and  a  map  of  the  United  States

Recollections  of  a  private;  a  story  of  the  Army  of  the 

Potomac.     Crowell,  $1.50 J973-7  GGgr 

"The  book  is  interesting  as  showing  what  a  man  experiences  as  he  de- 
velops from  a  recruit  to  a  veteran  under  the  pressure  of  active  ser- 
vice. .  .One  charming  characteristic  marks  the  whole — a  simple,  sincere, 
unboastful  but  genuine  patriotism  that  leaves  no  doubt  as  to  the 
honesty  of  the  author  whether  fighting  or  writing.  While  deploring 
the  necessity  that  required  force  to  preserve  the  Union,  he  is  filled 
with  admiration  for  the  personal  gallantry  of  the  men  who  supported 
the  losing  and  lost  cause.  He  nowhere  scolds  and  throughout  the  book 
presents  an  unconscious  model  of  the  typical  Union  volunteer."

E.  Hale.     Heath,  $.20 jR2i5t 

This  book  of  wonder-exciting  stories,  written  to  bring  into  contempt  the 
exaggerations  of  the  i8th  century  traveler's  tales,  has  been  appropri- 
ated by  the  children  with  that  unerring  instinct  which  led  them  to 
make  Gulliver  and  Robinson  Crusoe  their  own.  It  first  appeared  in 
England  under  the  title  of  "Gulliver  revived;  or.  The  vice  of  lying 
exposed."  The  authorship  was  long  doubtful  and  disputed.  Modern 
research  shows  that  it  was  compiled  from  floating  legends  of  his 
fatherland  by  a  learned  German,  one  Rudolph  E.  Raspe.  The  book  is 
rich  in  humor  and  satire.

and  constitutional  periods  of  our  history,  such  as  can  be  found  in  no 
other  book,  and  the  autobiographical  part  has  a  personal  interest  for 
every  American  who  cares  to  know  how  the  foundations  of  a  great

"The  book  is  interesting  as  showing  what  a  man  experiences  as  he  de- 
velops from  a  recruit  to  a  veteran  under  the  pressure  of  active  service 
...One  charming  characteristic  marks  the  whole — a  simple,  sincere, 
unboastful  but  genuine  patriotism  that  leaves  no  doubt  as  to  the 
honesty  of  the  author  whether  fighting  or  writing.  While  deploring 
the  necessity  that  required  force  to  preserve  the  Union,  he  is  filled 
with  admiration  for  the  personal  gallantry  of  the  men  who  supported

"I  believe  it  to  be  the  best  introduction  to  English  history  hitherto  made 
for  the  use  of  schools.  It  is  just  what  is  needed  in  the  school  and  in  the 
family.  It  is  the  first  history  of  England  that  I  have  seen  which  gives 
proper  attention  to  sociology  and  the  evolution  of  political  ideas,  with- 
out neglecting  what  is  picturesque  and  interesting  to  the  popular  taste. 
The  device  of  placing  the  four  historical  maps  at  the  beginning  and

exaggerations  of  the  i8th  century  traveler's  tales,  has  been  appropri- 
ated by  the  children  with  that  unerring  instinct  which  led  them  to

England  under  the  title  of  "Gulliver  revived;  or,  The  vice  of  lying 
exposed."  The  authorship  was  long  doubtful  and  disputed.  Modem

rich  in  humor  and  satire.
